TORONTO, Sept. 25, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - The Canadian Nuclear Association (CNA) will hold a one-day conference September 30th on "International Opportunities for Canadian Nuclear Businesses."

The conference will look at the expanding global nuclear marketplace, and discuss how Canadian firms can access China, India, and other markets that have embraced nuclear power. China alone is building 43 reactors and planning another 136. India has said nuclear power will significantly advance its electrification program. Countries are turning to nuclear energy for its ability to provide affordable energy, stabilize climate change, and improve air quality and public health.

The Canadian Nuclear Association (CNA) is a non-profit organization established in 1960 to represent the nuclear industry in Canada and promote the development and growth of nuclear technologies for peaceful purposes.

The CNA works to:

Create and foster a political environment and reasonable regulatory framework for advancing the nuclear industry in Canada.

Encourage cooperation among various industries, utilities, educational institutions, government departments and agencies, and other authoritative bodies that have a common interest in the development of economic uses for nuclear power and radioisotopes.

Provide a forum for the discussion and resolution of issues of concern to members, to industry, or to the Canadian public.

Encourage cooperation with other associations that have similar objectives and purposes.
